hecker Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 This might help: http://www.forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic....f=16&t=2135 It requires an already running OSX Tiger version. I recommend you download and install tubgirl's 10.4.10 since it's very compatible with AMD PCs. Cheers, hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altece Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm trying the Zephyroth 10.5.1 AMD DVD. Just get it from you-know-where and burn it to a DVD. As far as I know, it does not require Tiger to be insatlled. This will help you extract the iso (it took me a while to figure that out. lol): http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=82295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keplenk Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi, My sister has the same board .. But I'm still downloading Zepyroth right now (will take me 1 more day) ... techfanatic: Did you installed Leopard fine? Did it work? How about the graphics card? Did you require a special way to make QI/CE working? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
